HO, FOR TYBEEi
Arrangements Perfected for Street
Car Connections

Arrangements Perfected for Street
Car Connections.
Capt. J. H. Johnston, the President of the
City and Suburban railway, referring to
the communication in Yesterdays MORNING
NEWS in regard to having street car con-
nection with Tybee railway trains, stated
that the street railroad company had placed
a man on duty charged exclusively with
looking after the comfort and convenience
of those going to and coming from the
island, and that special cars are at
his command for that purpose
President Johnston stated that whatever
could be done for the accommodation of the
travelling public would have his attention.
He said that as soon as the city authorities
granted permission curves would be put on
at the intersections of Liberty street with
Whitaker and Abercorn streets and passen-
gers would then be landed near their homes
He was endeavoring to get permission, but
for some reason he had not succeeded. 1t is
to be hoped that the city authorities
will at once take action and give the COM
pany the right to put in the curves, so that
the city will have better street railroad ia
cilities. The trains for Tybee will be loaded
to-day as usual with those who will enjoy
the delicious and refreshing sea breezes and
the delights of surf bathing. Hot days are
not known on Tybee, and it is a great treat
TO spend at least "A few hours there drinking
in the pleasures the island affords.

Grocers Find Great Difficulty in Keep

ing Their Horses Up.
Last weeks unprecedented heat caused
great inconvenience to j. q. Nelson & Co.,
the grocers under the Guards armory, and
their patrons in that it so affected their de-
livery horses That they were almost entirely
unable to make their customary trips. Yes
terday one of them fell in his tracks and the
other was still very sick. In view of these
facts the firm respectfully request their pat
rons and friends TO view with leniency any
shortcomings in their delivery service
Nearly every business firm in the city has
been similarly unfortunate, but Messrs
Nelson ~ Co. give assurance to all that they
will do their utmost to prevent recurrence
of the hardness. In the meantime they call
attention 10 the fact that the prices Of gro
ceIies remain at the same rock-bottom fig.

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS,
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines,


The Marietta and North Georgia road is
having hard time of it. The Legislature
refuses to permit its extension to Atlanta,
and the cause of this refusal is the fact that
it would compete with the property of the
State and injure the value of the Western
and Atlantic road.
A New York dispatch says that syndi-
cate copartnership OF New York and Lon
don bankers has agreed to furnish the
money necessary for tine construction of the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus railroad,
and President Williamson, who was in New
York conducting negotiations, left for
Rome Wednesday and will begin work on
the line at once.
The right of way through the streets of
Palalka, now occupied by the Paatka and
Indian River railway was granted Wednes-
day night to the Palatlla and St Augustine
and st. Johns and Halifax River railroads,
and the same ordinance provides for the
building of a bridge over the st. Johns to
the foot Of Adams street. The material is
already at hand, and all doubts as to the 10
cation of the bridge, as well as to the pas
sage of the roads through the city would
seem to be set at rest.
The work on the extension of the Orange
Belt railway, from Oakland westward, is
going on rapidly. The grading between
Tarpon Springs and Macon is nearly COM
plcted, and the bridges over TaconeY creek
and Salt creek are finished, and there is
now no doubt but that rails Will be laid into
Tarpon Springs early in October The
occasion will be one Of much rejoicing not
only to the people of Tarpon Springs, but
all along the coast, especially the merchants
These latter are loud in their denunciation
of the eXecrable service which has been
given them by the steamboats, of late, and
are feeling very bitter against the steamboat
company. The boats have been withdrawn
without any notice or warning whatever,
and freight has been delivered at Tarpon
Springs by lighter and by private boats,
which have had 70 go to Cedar Key TO get it.
